Attendees will also learn how to develop audio-visual preservation strategies and ways to seek funding for audio-visual media preservation and digitalization projects.

Topics that will be covered:
* Working with a Media Preservation Consultant
* Audio restoration and how best to work with service providers
* Digitizing motion picture footage
* Video to digital conversion
